home for the summer from four-year schools. The summer Schedule of
Classes is available on campus and at local libraries as well as on-line at
www.moorparkcollege.edu.
History
Vision Statement
Moorpark College was established in 1963 by the Governing Board of the Ventura
County Community College District. Soon after, a 134-acre site on Moorpark’s
eastern city boundary was secured in a combination donation/purchase from the
Strathearns, a local ranching family.
At Moorpark College, we encourage quality and believe our strengths have been
and will continue to be people—their flexibility, their responsiveness, and their
willingness to meet the needs of our students and community. We believe that
building on these strengths provides an educational experience appropriate to
the students’ needs and within the College’s mission.
In 1965, taxpayers passed an $8 million bond to build the first phase of the
district’s second community college. Construction of the Administration, Library,
Science, Technology, Campus Center, Gymnasium and Maintenance buildings
began in 1966. With the paint barely dry and remnants of construction rubble
still evident, Moorpark College opened on September 11, 1967. Dr. John Collins,
the College’s first president, greeted nearly 1,400 students and 50 new faculty
members on that day.
Specifically, our actions and decisions are based on the following beliefs:
• We will provide the best services, programs and opportunities for students.
• We encourage creativity and innovation and we will try new ideas and new
things.
• All students attending Moorpark College will receive the support they need to
meet their individual educational goals.
Enrollment doubled in the first few years as the College added vocational education to its role of preparing students for transfer to four-year schools. Dr. Robert
Lombardi became the College’s second president in 1971. Dr. Ray Hearon held the
longest term as president, serving from 1974-1989.
• Students who wish to transfer to four-year institutions will receive up-to-date
and accurate information to facilitate transfer.
• We will increase our responsiveness to business and industry in changing
economic climates.
The Moorpark College Foundation was formed in 1980 to spearhead construction
of an athletic stadium, amphitheater and observatory. In 1985, the 4,000-seat
stadium was named for Paul Griffin, Jr., a local developer and major benefactor. In
1987, the Carlsberg Amphitheater and Charles Temple Observatory were dedicated
as part of the College’s 20th anniversary celebration. During the 1980s, several
other buildings were completed: Applied Arts, Creative Arts, Humanities/Social
Science, Music, and Student Services. In 1989, the Center for Learning Assistance
Services opened for service.
• We are an integral part of the community.
To best implement our actions and decisions, our internal working environment
is based on the following beliefs:
• Shared governance is an accepted part of our decision-making process.
• We will strive to build greater trust, understanding, and cooperation between
the other segments of the Ventura County Community College District and
Moorpark College.
Dr. Stanley Bowers served as president from 1989-1991, followed by Roger Boedecker, who served from 1991-1992. Dr. James Walker became president in 1992, but
was called away to serve as Interim Chancellor in 1995. Dr. Darlene Pacheco served
as interim president during Walker’s absence from 1995-1996.
• We will provide all staff with support for professional development.
Fiscal constraint, brought about by the state’s economic downturn, stalled growth
at the College in the early 1990s. Despite hard times, the College completed statefunded construction of the Communications Building (1991) and the Performing
Arts Center (1995). The forensics team maintained national ranking while the
athletic teams continued to dominate the Western State Conference.
Mission Statement
As a public community college, Moorpark College offers programs and services
accessible to the community. Drawing from a student-centered philosophy, Moorpark College creates learning environments that blend curriculum and services
in providing to students:
In 1997, the Child Development Center and Disabled Students Center were expanded. In 1998, two new conference rooms were built in the Campus Center and
an acoustic shell was installed on the Main Stage of the Performing Arts Center.
In 1999, the 27,000 square foot Fred Kavli Science Center opened, housing the
math, science and computer studies programs. This facility also provides student
access to a 50-station computer lab.
• Introductions to the broad areas of human knowledge and understanding;
• Courses required for university transfer and career preparation or advancement;
• Skills in critical thinking, writing, reading, speaking, listening, and computing;
• Exposure to the values of diversity locally, nationally, and internationally;
In 1999, the Instructional Biotechnology Program opened an 8,000 square foot
bio-manufacturing facility on the California State University
• Extracurricular activities that promote campus community involvement and personal
development;
at Channel Islands campus and The Moorpark Review – a student creative arts
journal – debuted with the publication of original student writing and photography.
Also in 1999, students were first able to access their academic records and register
for classes on-line at: www.moorparkcollege.edu.
• Preparation for the challenges and responsibilities of life and change in a free society
and the global community.
In 2000, a high school for high potential juniors and seniors opened on the
Moorpark College campus. In 2001 the first High School at MoorparkCollege
graduating class numbered 55. In March of 2002 Ventura County voters passed
Measure S, a bond that will provide $356 million in construction financing for
the Ventura County Community Colleges, of which $104 will be used to renovate/expand Moorpark. Moorpark is poised to grow to 19,000 students by the year
2015 and bond monies will fund 23 new or renovated classroom buildings and
related facilities..
In July, 2002, Dr. Eva Conrad became Moorpark’s eighth president replacing Walker
who retired. Fall 2002 enrollment swelled to 15,400 and work began on a new
Library and Learning Resources Center.

In 2004 the college’s first bond project was completed, a parking lot renovation
that added 600 spaces. In 2005, the second bond project was completed, the installation of an all-weather track and artificial turf playing field. In September 2005,
the new Library/Learning Resources building opened. A new child development
center will open in Spring of 2007.

Moorpark ranks second in the state for transfer to the University of California and
California State University systems. No local college does a better job preparing
students for their future. Moorpark College graduates are making meaningful

UCLA/UC Irvine Transfer Alliance Program (TAP)
Whether a student’s educational goal is to obtain a college degree or vocational
certificate, transfer to a university, update workplace skills or take a class for
the joy of learning, Moorpark College is a great place to start. Since the College
offers more than 1,500 classes in over 100 programs throughout the year, it is
certain students will find courses to meet their needs. The myriad of options
available are previewed below under “Educational Opportunities.” That section
highlights the College’s specialized programs as well as specialized requirements
involved with taking certain courses.
This partnership with UCLA and UC Irvine provides Honors Program graduates
with priority consideration for transfer and eligibility to apply for the “TAP
Scholars” scholarship.
For more information about the Moorpark College Honors Program, refer to
the Moorpark College website.
Interdisciplinary Courses and
Learning Communities
In-person application, enrollment and registration takes place in Admissions and
Records, located in the Administration Building. Enrollment and registration
accessible online at www.moorparkcollege.edu/webstar. The information provided below verifies the rules, regulations and options that govern the processes
involved with becoming a student.
Interdisciplinary courses are designed to provide the student with credit meeting
general education requirements in more than one area of study. Such courses
are taught by two or more faculty presenting ideas from different points of view,
as well as different disciplines’ perspectives. Learning Community classes have
themes and connect to careers. Different combinations of courses are available for
varying units of credit. Each semester’s Schedule of Classes provides particulars
about these team-taught classes.
For more information, consider making an appointment with a counselor. It is
a good idea to generate a multi-semester Student Education Plan to maximize
time and effort. Students can schedule a counseling appointment by calling
(805) 378-1428, or they can stop by Counseling in the Administration Building
to see a “drop-by” counselor for quick questions.
The Program for Accelerated
College Education (PACE)
Educational Opportunities
Scheduling Options
The Program for Accelerated College Education (PACE) is an academic program
for learners who wish to complete an Associate Degree under an accelerated
schedule. PACE’s flexible schedule is ideal for working adults or learners seeking
to maximize their time for coursework. The program offers 8-week classes in a
number of delivery modes, including traditional on-ground classroom experience,
tele-video, and online. Classes are offered evenings and weekends. For the 20062007 academic year, PACE offers associate degrees in Business Administration and
Child Development. Both programs may be completed in 19 months. Contact the
PACE Office at (805) 378-1402 www.moorparkcollege.edu/pace.
To meet the varying needs of students, courses are offered in many different
scheduling patterns. Most are the traditional full term courses, but many are
condensed in time to better match busy schedules. Some classes start a few weeks
later than the full term classes and meet for roughly 13-15 weeks; these options
approximate public-school and four-year-school calendars. Other courses can
be completed in shorter time frames, including one-day seminars.
Courses are available mornings, afternoons and evenings Monday through
Friday, as well as on Saturday. In response to student requests, some specialized
courses are even available on Sunday. Most courses are offered on campus, but
other locations are used as well, such as high schools and other community
locations. Courses are also available through distance education (online and
television) requiring minimal trips to campus.
Air Force ROTC Program
Air Force ROTC is a college-level program designed to select and train highly
qualified men and women to become commissioned Air Force officers. AFROTC
offers two different programs, a four-year and a two-year program. To enter
AFROTC, an individual must have at least two years of college remaining, which
may include graduate study. In addition, the individual must be a United States
citizen prior to entering the last two years of the program, be able to pass an
Air Force medical exam, be of high moral character, and be in good academic
standing in school.
Moorpark College’s goal is to be responsive to the many scheduling needs of
students as they juggle jobs and family obligations. To match specific scheduling
needs with the course offerings, students can consult each semester’s Schedule
of Classes. These schedules are available on campus about five weeks prior
to each new semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu. Each course
entry notes the length of the course, when it meets and where. The special
enrollment and refund deadlines for full-semester classes are listed in each
semester’s Schedule of Classes. However, the length of each course determines
the deadline (enrollment, drop, refund, etc.). Schedules must be consulted for
specific details on deadlines.
Students can attend any accredited college and still take AFROTC at one of the
program locations through extension. For more information, call an AFROTC
unit listed below. www.afrotc.com

Honors Program
The Honors Program is a series of courses in different disciplines that invites
students to explore topics in depth, often by working in a seminar-type class
with other motivated students. Students can take an honors course or two
in a favorite discipline, or they can graduate from the Honors Program after
completing 15 units of honors courses in at least three different disciplines and
fulfilling other exit requirements. Honors courses are clearly marked in each
Schedule of Classes.
Internship and Work Experience
Internship and Occupational Work Experience courses provide students with
the opportunity to earn graded college credit by working in a volunteer or paid
position that is related to their career goal and/or major. General Work Experience provides credit for a job unrelated to a career goal. Students receive one
unit of credit for each 60 hours of unpaid or 75 hours of paid work, and may
enroll in up to 4 units (Internships/Occupational Work Experience), or 3 units
(General Work Experience), with a maximum of 16 units total. The student
Admission Information
General Eligibility
must also attend an orientation, develop learning objectives, complete a related
project or report, and maintain signed verification of hours. The student meets
with a faculty advisor who supervises the experience, visits the worksite, and
awards the grade.
Admission to Moorpark College is open to any high school graduate, anyone
possessing a high school proficiency certificate, or any adult eighteen years of
age or older and capable of profiting from instruction.
These opportunities for on-the-job learning are advertised and coordinated
through the Career Services Center. An existing position might be eligible for
credit in the program, if it provides new or expanded learning for the student.
The Career Services Center is located in the Campus Center. Call (805) 3781536 for more information. Course descriptions are listed in the Catalog under
“Work Experience.”
A student is eligible to attend Moorpark College if his/her legal residence is
within California. Students entering any of the public community colleges of
California are subject to the residency requirements as determined by the State
of California.
Students whose legal residence is in another state or in a foreign country may be
admitted under conditions stipulated by the Governing Board and on payment
of specified tuition fees. Additional information regarding residence requirements and fees may be found below or by contacting Admissions and Records
at (805) 378-1429.
Independent Study
The intent of an Independent Study is to enable students to further explore
particular aspects of a subject by studying it in depth under the direction of
an authorized instructor in that discipline. The student is expected to have
completed a previous course in the subject matter. Students wishing to enroll
in an Independent Study must be enrolled in at least three other units of course
work at Moorpark College for the semester in which the Independent Study is to
be taken. A student may be enrolled in no more than two independent studies
in one semester and no more than one course in a discipline in a semester. A
maximum of twelve total units of Independent Study course work may be taken
at Moorpark College, with a maximum of six units in one discipline. Students
wishing to complete an Independent Study should contact an instructor in
the discipline in order to develop a program plan and to initiate the required
paperwork by the appropriate deadline.
Residency Requirements
Admission Procedures
Students new to Moorpark College and former students who attended prior to
2003 must complete an application for admission. Former students who last
attended between 2003 and 2005 may update any changes to their address, or
phone number by on-line @ www.moorparkcollege.edu/webstar
An application for admission is available on-line at www.moorparkcollege.
edu/apply. Additional copies can be obtained at the Office of Admissions or by
writing to Moorpark College Public Relations, 7075 Campus Road, Moorpark,
CA 93021.
Field Trips
A field trip may be a required activity for a number of courses in the college
curriculum. For any such courses, it is intended that the field trips be clearly
identified in the College Catalog and in each semester’s Schedule of Classes. For
other courses, a field trip may be an optional activity for the students enrolled.
According to policy adopted by the District’s Governing Board, all persons
making any type of field trip or excursion shall be deemed to have waived all
claims for injury, accident, illness, or death occurring during or by reason of
the field trip or excursion.
Applications may be submitted at any time, but they must be on file before
students can register for classes. It is best to apply for admission as early as
possible.
Auditing Policy
Auditing enables a student to attend a class without receiving a grade, taking
an exam, or earning unit credit. Students enrolled in ten or more semester
units shall, with instructor consent, be allowed to audit one class without a fee.
Students not enrolled in ten semester credit units may, with instructor consent,
audit one class with a fee for auditing of fifteen dollars ($15.00) per unit per
semester. Audit students must also pay the Health Fee.
Priority in class enrollment shall be given to students desiring to take the course
for credit towards a certificate or degree. Therefore, students wishing to audit
may register for classes in audit status by special petition only in the last two
days of the add/drop period. This petition requires permission of the instructor.
Laboratory classes are not normally available for audit. Students auditing a
course shall not be permitted to change their enrollment in that course to receive
credit for the course. Petitions for this purpose, “Petition to Audit a Course,”
are available at Admissions and Records (Admin. Bldg.).
Students auditing a course are not permitted to take exams in class, nor are
they permitted to challenge the course at a later date. Instructors are under
no obligation to grade assignments of students auditing a course. Attendance
requirements for students auditing courses are the same as for all other students
as stated elsewhere in this Catalog. Audit fees are nonrefundable.
On-Line Admissions & Records Services
• Check your registration appointment
Course prerequisites, corequisites or recommended preparation/other limitations
are specified within course descriptions provided in “The List of Courses” that
is presented in the center section of this catalog. They are also specified in each
semester’s Schedule of Classes. A course has no prerequisites or corequisites unless
so designated. Students must satisfy the prerequisite or corequisite requirements
for all courses in which they enroll.
• Register for classes
Prerequisite Equivalency
• Search for classes in a variety of ways
Students who have completed course work at the high school level or at another
college that could be seen as equivalent to a course’s stated prerequisite need to
have official transcripts sent to the Moorpark College Counseling Department, so
the equivalency can be verified and recorded. Students may hand carry official
(unopened) transcripts to the Counseling Office prior to registration to expedite
the review process. The counselors will review the transcripts and determine how
the previous courses meet the stated prerequisites. Additional documentation
may be required to make the determination.
Students may access the following Admissions & Records services on-line at
moorparkcollege.edu/webstar:
• Apply for admission
• Add classes; Drop classes
• Change your mailing address or phone number
• Change your PIN
• View your class schedule
• View your academic records including courses, units and GPA
• Pay fees
Once it has been determined by a counselor that previous course work does
indeed meet stated prerequisites, then a “Prerequisite for Course Equivalency
Form” can be completed, signed, and submitted to Admissions and Records, so
the student can proceed with course registration.
• View unpaid fees or holds
• Add or change your e-mail address
Specialized Program or Course Eligibility
Moorpark College offers specialized programs in Exotic Animal Training/Management, Nursing and Radiologic Technology. These programs require special
admissions procedures that are detailed within the “List of Courses.”
Challenging a Prerequisite or Corequisite
It is recognized that students may have preparation equivalent to the stated
prerequisites or corequisites or may wish to challenge a prerequisite or corequisite
as allowed by state law. The petition for challenging a prerequisite or corequisite
is available in the Counseling Office. The student shall bear the initial burden of
showing that grounds exist for the challenge. A “Petition to Challenge” Form
is available from the Counseling Desk in the Administration Building. If you
have any questions or need help, make an appointment with a counselor by
calling (805) 378-1428.
Prerequisites and Corequisites
Moorpark College is fully committed to providing educational opportunities
to all students and fostering student success. Some courses require specialized
training or preparation to ensure success. Such criteria or “prerequisites” have
been established as a means of notifying students of the skills and abilities needed
to succeed in a specific course. Students should carefully review prerequisites
and corequisites before enrolling in classes.
The following lists the grounds in which a challenge may be pursued:
Important Definitions
PREREQUISITE: A prerequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge
that a student must possess prior to enrollment and without which the student
is highly unlikely to succeed in the course or program. It is a condition of
enrollment that a student is required to meet in order to demonstrate current
readiness for enrollment in a course or educational program. For example, a
student enrolling in general chemistry will have difficulty without adequate
preparation in algebra. Prerequisites must be completed with a grade of “C” or
better prior to registration in a specific course.
COREQUISITE: A corequisite represents a set of skills or a body of knowledge
that a student must acquire through concurrent enrollment in another course
and without which the student is highly unlikely to succeed. It is a condition of
enrollment consisting of a course that a student is required to simultaneously
take in order to enroll in another course.
1. The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal of
his/her educational plan because the prerequisite or corequisite course
has not been made reasonably available.
2. The prerequisite or corequisite is not valid because it is not necessary for
success in the course for which it is required (student documentation
required).
3. The prerequisite or corequisite is unlawfully discriminatory or is being
applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner (student documentation required).
4. The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course despite
not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite (student documentation
required).
Concurrent High School Student Admission
In accordance with the California Education Code high school juniors and
seniors are permitted to enroll in college courses as Special High School Admission students. This permission is required for each semester the student wishes
to attend until the student graduates from high school or turns 18 years or age,
whichever is sooner. High school students must register in person and are limited
to a maximum of 11.0 units per semester. Course enrollment fees are waived
for Special High School Admission students. All other fees apply. Moorpark
College grants college credit only.
RECOMMENDED PREPARATION: Specifies the preparation suggested by faculty
that is expected to help students successfully complete a particular course. While
encouraged to do so, students do not have to satisfy recommended preparation
guidelines to enroll in a course.
LIMITATIONS ON ENROLLMENT: Note other restrictions that must be met in
order for a student to register for a specific class. For example, a child development course might state the following: “Proof of negative TB clearance is
required.”
In order to qualify and register for Special High School Admission, all high
school students (seniors, juniors or younger) must have the written permission
of a parent or guardian and their high school principal or counselor. Students
below the 11th grade must also have the written consent of the Moorpark College instructor whose class they wish to attend and are not permitted to enroll
until the semester begins. Special High School Admission forms are available
at the high schools and in Admissions and Records at Moorpark College in the
Administration Building. High school transcripts are required to confirm grade
level and for clearance of mandatory prerequisites in Math and English. Please
refer to current Schedule of Classes or online at www.moorparkcollege.edu for

A daily or long term student parking permit is required in all lots on campus.
“One-Day Use Permits” are $1.00. These permits must be displayed on the dash
of the vehicle to permit parking in all appropriately designated student spaces.
These day use passes do not permit parking in spaces marked “handicapped”
or marked “staff.” One-Day Permits can be obtained from machines located
on the main driveways in Lots A, B and C as well as in lots D, F and PA. The
locations of these parking-permit machines are noted on the Campus Map, on

Nonresident Tuition and International
Student Credits/Refunds
A Realistic Course Load
A major consideration for students, particularly first time students or those
returning to college after a lengthy absence, is a determination of an appropriate
load. While the number of courses one can handle during a semester varies
among individuals, experience indicates that for most students, typical lecture
courses require two hours of outside preparation time for each hour in class.
Thus, a 12-unit course load, for example, represents a weekly commitment of
36 hours. For a four-unit class that meets for eight weeks, the time commitment
would be eight hours in class and 16 hours of preparation each week, totaling 24
hours a week. Moorpark College wants students to succeed so advises establishing
a realistic course load, given specific work, class and family commitments.
Nonresident and International Students are subject to the same deadlines and
procedures regarding credits and refunds for dropped classes as noted above
under “Enrollment and Parking Credits/Refunds.” The eligibility for and the
amount of the fees applicable to nonresidents (Nonresident Tuition and Capital
Outlay Surcharge) are determined by the date the student officially files the
application for a refund through Admissions and Records (Admin. Bldg.). The
amount of each refund is based on the percentage of the class session completed
at the time the student withdraws. For more specific information, especially
regarding the separate dates for short-term classes, contact Admissions and
Records (805.378-1429) or look on-line.
Class Attendance
Failure of a student to be present at the first scheduled meeting of a class may
result in exclusion from that class, especially if other eligible students are present
and seeking admission to the class. It is the responsibility of students, at the
beginning of the semester, to become aware of the attendance policies of the
instructor for each class in which they are enrolled.
The following schedule of refunds will be in effect for nonresident students who
withdraw from college:
Full-Semester Length Classes
1st and 2nd week........................................................................ 100% of Tuition
3rd and 4th week.......................................................................... 50% of Tuition
Students are responsible for maintaining regular class attendance. When a
student’s absence exceeds in number 1/9 of the total class contact hours for the
session (e.g., absence from a semester-long class equal to twice the number
of hours the class meets in one week), the instructor may, after due warning,
If dropped or excluded from class, a student may petition the instructor for
reinstatement when just cause for the absence exists.
Shorter than Full-Semester Length Classes, including Summer Session
10% of class sessions.................................................................... 100% of Tuition
20% of class sessions...................................................................... 50% of Tuition
Full-Time Student
A student is defined as full time if he/she is carrying 12 or more units during a
regular term or four units during a summer session.
If the reason for exclusion is more serious in nature (e.g., Sexual Harassment,
Sexual Assault, Discrimination) it would be better for students to start the process
of review and intervention with the appropriate Division Dean. The matter
may also be brought to the attention of the Executive Vice President of Student
Learning at (805) 378-1403.
Unit Requirements for Benefits
In order to qualify for certain benefits, minimum unit requirements must be
maintained as follows:
Automobile & Medical Insurances........................................................12.0 units
Athletic Eligibility................................................................................. 12.0 units
Student Government............................................................................. 12.0 units

Campus Life
Moorpark College is aware of research suggesting that students achieve success
more consistently, if they feel a connection to the campus where they attend
classes. The friendships made and the activities participated in, therefore,
contribute to each student’s future success. Moorpark College offers students
various ways to be involved on campus.
Educational Workload
A student’s educational workload generally consists of fifteen (15) units of
course work per semester in order to make normal progress toward an Associate
Degree, a Certificate of Achievement or timely transfer to a four-year institution.
Students desiring to take an overload – more than nineteen and a half (19.5)
units but less than twenty-two (22) – must have a counselor’s approval. Students

Grading Practices
W - Withdrawal
A student may withdraw from a class through the last day of the fourteenth week
of instruction for full-semester classes or through seventy-five percent (75%)
of a class less than a semester in length. The academic record of a student who
remains in a class beyond this time limit must reflect a grade other than a “W.”
No notation (“W” or other) shall be made on the academic record of the student
who withdraws during the first four weeks of a full-semester length class or thirty
percent (30%) of a short-term course. Withdrawal between this no-notation
deadline (roughly 30% of a course) and the drop deadline (roughly 75% of the
course) shall be recorded as a “W” on the student’s record.
Work in all courses acceptable in fulfillment of the requirements for associate
degrees, certificates, diplomas, licenses, or baccalaureate-level work shall be
graded in accordance with the provisions adopted by the District Governing
Board for the following sections which relate to the letter grading scale, the
Credit/No Credit options, or Credit by Examination.
Grading System
The quality of a student’s work will be measured by the following letter grades:
Credit/No Credit Grade Options
Symbol Definition
Grade Points/Unit
A................ Excellent............................................... 4 points per semester unit
Colleges of the Ventura County Community College District may offer courses
in two Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) options:
B................ Good..................................................... 3 points per semester unit
• Courses which are offered on a Credit/No Credit basis only, or
• Courses in which students may elect the Credit/No Credit option.
Credit/No Credit Only includes those courses in which all students in the course
are evaluated on a Credit/No Credit (CR/NC) basis as indicated in the course
description in this Catalog. This CR/NC grading option shall be used to the
exclusion of all other grades in courses for which there is a single satisfactory
standard of performance and for which unit credit is assigned. “Credit” shall be
assigned for meeting that standard, and “No Credit” for failure to do so.
C................ Satisfactory........................................... 2 points per semester unit
D................ Passing, less than satisfactory.............. 1 point per semester unit
F................ Failing.................................................. 0 points per semester unit
CR.............. Credit (at least satisfactory)
.................. Units awarded not counted in GPA
NC.............. No Credit (less than satisfactory, or failing)
.................. Units not counted in Grade Point Average
The second category (Credit/No Credit Option) is comprised of courses designated
by the college wherein each student may elect by no later than the end of the
first thirty percent (30%) of the term or length of the class whether the basis of
evaluation is to be Credit/No Credit or a letter grade. Once the thirty percent
(30%) deadline has passed, the request cannot be withdrawn and the student
becomes ineligible to petition to change a grade. It is the student’s responsibility to notify the instructor of his/her intent to be graded on a Credit/No Credit
basis and to file the appropriate form; otherwise a letter grade will be assigned.
The petition for this purpose, “Request for Credit/No Credit,” is available at
Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.).
Grades from the letter grading scale shall be averaged on the basis of the numerical grade point equivalencies to determine a student’s grade point average.
The District Governing Board has authorized the use of only the non-evaluative
symbols “I,” “RD” and “W,” which are defined as follows:
I - Incomplete
Students who are at the end of a term and have failed to complete the required
academic work of a course because of unforeseeable, emergency, and justifiable
reasons may receive a symbol “I” (Incomplete) on their records. The conditions
for receiving a letter grade and for the removal of the “I” must be stated by the
instructor in a written record which must also state the grade to be assigned in
lieu of the removal of the “I.” This record must be given to the student and a
copy is to be placed on file with the Registrar until the conditions are met (the
“I” is made up) or the time limit is passed. A final grade shall be assigned when
the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit
for completing the work has passed. The “I” may be made up no later than one
year following the end of the term for which it was assigned.
All units earned on a Credit/No Credit basis from accredited California institutions of higher education or equivalent out-of-state institutions shall be
counted toward satisfactory completion of community college curriculum
requirements.
A student may apply a maximum of 20 units of credit earned under the Credit/No
Credit option to an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement. Exceptions to
this unit limitation will be granted only to students enrolled in the designated
occupational programs specified in the Credit by Examination statement later
in this section. Credit (CR) is used to denote “passed with credit” when no letter
grade is given. Credit is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter
grade of “C” or better.
The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted or for grade
point
RD - Report Delayed
The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the Registrar only. It is to be used when
there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a
permanent symbol as soon as possible. “RD” shall not be used in calculating
grade point averages.
Units earned on a Credit/No Credit basis shall not be used to calculate grade point
averages. However, units attempted for which NC is recorded shall be considered
when determining probation and dismissal status.
Students should be aware that other colleges and universities may restrict the
acceptance of courses taken on a Credit/No Credit basis, especially for satisfaction
of requirements for the major.
17
Availability of Semester Grades
Course Repetition
Grades for each semester are generally available approximately two weeks after
the semester ends. Students have access to their grades online and in person.
To access academic records online, go to the Moorpark College website at www.
moorparkcollege.edu and click on the Webstar icon to enter the secured area to
view grades. An unofficial transcript can be printed from the website. Students
with outstanding fees and/or obligations will not be able to access their grades
until they have cleared their fees/obligations.
A course in which a grade of “C” or better has been earned may not be repeated
except as identified in the catalog course description or as stated below. Courses
taken at the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District in which
a grade of “D,” “F,” “NC” or other substandard grade has been earned may be
repeated for the purpose of improving a recorded grade. This policy may apply
more than once to any particular course. A course taken at another institution,
in which a substandard grade was earned, may be repeated at the colleges of the
Ventura County Community District, subject to this policy. In order to identify
acceptable equivalencies, course equivalency shall be determined chiefly by
content, as defined in the catalog course description, and not by course title or
units. Prior approval for course repetition shall be required. The “Petition for
Course Repetition” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.).
If a student thinks the reported grade is in error, the first course of action is to
contact the teacher for verification and/or to make an informal appeal. If a
satisfactory resolution does not occur, the student may appeal the situation by
following the basic procedure spelled out in the Student Grievance Policy in
Student Rights & Responsibilities section.
Upon completion of the repeated course, the previous grade earned shall be
omitted from the computation of the cumulative grade point average and lined
through on the Moorpark College permanent record. This permanent record
shall be annotated in a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true
complete academic history.
Cheating or Plagiarism
Moorpark College takes academic honesty very seriously, since ethical behavior
and integrity are vital components of ensuring mutual respect across campus.
Instructors, accordingly, have the responsibility and authority for dealing with
any cheating or plagiarism that may occur in their classes. Such activities could
include stealing tests, using “cheat sheets,” copying off another’s test, or turning
in someone else’s work as his/her own. It is the policy of the Ventura County
Community College District and Moorpark College that the instructor may
dismiss a student involved in such dishonest behavior from class with a grade
of “F.” In addition, the faculty member may direct the matter to the Executive
Vice President of Student Learning for further disciplinary action.
Important Note: Students should understand that other colleges or universities
may not accept credit for work which represents a repetition of high school
work. In addition, there is no assurance that repeated courses resulting in an
improvement in grade will be accepted by other colleges or universities.
Academic Renewal Without Course Repetition
Students may petition to have a portion of previous college work disregarded in
meeting academic requirements in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District. Academic Renewal is intended to facilitate the completion
of requirements necessary for an academic degree or certificate.
Student Due Process
If a problem or complaint arises, students have the right to have the matter
or disciplinary action investigated as noted in the official Student Grievance
Policy, see Student Rights and Responsibilities Section. Most problems of this
type (question regarding grade, dropped for poor attendance, etc.) involve misunderstandings, human error or lack of information about established rules. To
address such problems, it is often best to speak directly with the teacher or staff
member involved. If the matter is not clarified or resolved, it may be useful to
talk next with the responsible Division Dean. If the concern still persists, then
contact the Office of Student Learning for further review. The Office of Student
Learning can be reached at (805) 378-1403.
A student may petition, once only, to eliminate grade point calculations and
credits from selected portions of previous college work which is not reflective of
the student’s present demonstrated ability and level of performance. The student
may petition for Academic Renewal to disregard previous substandard college
work by selecting one of the following options:
Grade Changes
In any course of instruction in a college of the Ventura County Community
College District for which grades are awarded, the instructor of the course shall
determine the grade to be awarded each student in accordance with the grading
system dealing with academic record symbols and grade point average. The
determination of the student’s grade by the instructor shall be final in the absence
of mistake, fraud, bad faith or incompetence. Procedures for the correction of
a grade given in error shall include expunging the incorrect grade from the
record. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to Change Grade,” is available
to the teacher from Registration and Records.
• Disregard a maximum of 15 or fewer semester units of any courses
with less than a “C” or equivalent grade taken during any one or two
terms (maximum two terms), not necessarily consecutively; or
• Disregard all courses from two consecutive terms (one summer or
intersession may be regarded as equivalent to one semester at the
student’s discretion). Courses and units taken at any institution may
be disregarded.
Academic renewal may be granted only to a student who is currently enrolled
in at least one credit course in the College; has completed at least 12 units in
residence in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; has
submitted transcripts of all college work; has waited two years since the course
work to be disregarded was completed; and has subsequently completed at least
30 semester units with a minimum 2.40 GPA.
The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will honor
similar actions by other accredited colleges and universities in determining
grade point averages and credits. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for
Academic Renewal,” is available in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.).
Once the Petition of Academic Renewal is granted, the student’s permanent
academic record shall be annotated in such a manner that all work remains
legible, insuring a true and complete academic history. The student should be
aware that other colleges or universities may have different policies concerning
Academic Renewal and may not honor this policy.
18
Standards for Dismissal
Probation, Dismissal, and
Readmission of Students
A student who is on academic probation shall be dismissed if the student earned
a cumulative grade point average of less than 1.75 in all units attempted in each
of three consecutive semesters.
Probation, dismissal, and readmission policies and procedures are designed
to assist students in making progress toward realistic academic, career, and
personal goals.
A student who has been placed on progress probation shall be subject to dismissal
if the percentage of units in which the student has been enrolled and for which
entries of “W,” “I” and “NC” are recorded in at least three consecutive semesters
reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%).
Standards for Probation
A student who has attempted at least twelve (12) semester units as shown by the
official academic record shall be placed on academic probation if the student
has earned a grade point average below 2.0 in all units which were graded on
the basis of the grading scale established by the Ventura County Community
College District.
Notification of Dismissal
Each college in the Ventura County Community College District shall notify
a student who is dismissed at or near the beginning of the semester in which
it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall semester.
Moorpark College mails a letter indicating “academic dismissal” to the home
address indicated in the student’s records. In addition, each enrolled student’s
probation status is recorded at the end of each term as part of the student’s
academic record; the notation specifies the student’s status for both academic
and progress categories as either “in good standing” or “dismissed.” A student
who is dismissed has the right of appeal. An exception to academic dismissal
may be made only in the event of extreme and unusual medical and/or legal
circumstances that can be supported by evidence provided by the student, or in
the event of improved scholarship. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for
Continued Enrollment or Readmission,” is available in the Counseling Office
(Admin. Bldg.). Students may view their own academic records online by visiting
www.moorparkcollege.edu and clicking on the Webstar icon.
A student who has enrolled in a total of at least twelve (12) semester units as
shown by the official academic record shall be placed on progress probation when
the percentage of all units in which the student has enrolled and for which entries
of “W,” “I,” and “NC” are recorded reaches or exceeds fifty percent (50%).
A student transferring to a college of the Ventura County Community College
District from another college is subject to the same probation and dismissal
policies as students of this college district.
Special Note to Students Claiming Veterans Benefits: A veteran is placed on academic probation when less than 50% of units attempted are completed, less than
2.0 semester grade point average was earned, or less than 2.0 cumulative grade
point average is earned. Unsatisfactory progress is defined as being on academic
probation for two consecutive semesters. The school will report unsatisfactory
progress to the V.A., resulting in termination of benefits. The veteran must receive
academic counseling before benefits will be reinstated.
Continued Enrollment or Readmission
A student applying for continued enrollment or readmission must submit a
petition to explain what circumstances or conditions would justify continued
enrollment or readmission. A student applying for readmission shall not
be reinstated until a minimum of one semester has elapsed after academic
dismissal. A student who is petitioning shall receive counseling to assess his or
her academic and career goals and must have counselor approval of his or her
educational program prior to registration. The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Continued Enrollment or Readmission,” is available in the Counseling
Office (Admin. Bldg.).
Notification of Probation
Each college in this Ventura County Community College District shall notify
a student who is placed on probation at or near the beginning of the semester
in which it will take effect but, in any case, no later than the start of the fall
semester. Moorpark College mails a letter indicating either academic or progress
probation to the home address indicated in the student’s records. In addition,
each enrolled student’s probation status is recorded at the end of each term as
part of the student’s academic record; the notation specifies the student’s status
for both academic and progress categories as either “in good standing” or “on
probation.” A student placed on probation must, as a condition of continuing
enrollment, receive individual counseling, including the regulation of his/her
academic program. Each probationary student shall also receive any other
support services needed to help overcome the perceived academic difficulties.
Students may view their own academic records online by visiting www.moorparkcollege.edu and clicking on the Webstar icon.
Counseling Services
Counseling services will be provided for students on academic or progress probation or subject to dismissal. Students on probation and subject to dismissal may
have units limited and courses or an educational plan prescribed subject to the
professional judgment of the counselor. Students subject to academic dismissal
shall be required to meet with a counselor prior to registration.
Removal from Probation
Withdrawal from Class
A student on academic probation for a grade point deficiency shall be removed
from probation when the student’s cumulative grade point average is 2.0 or
higher.
It is the student’s responsibility to withdraw from a course. Forms for withdrawing from a class are available in Registration and Records in the Administration
Building. Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal through the end of
the fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or during the first thirty
percent (30%) of a class less than a semester in length. This action results
in no record of the dropped classes appearing on student’s academic records
(transcript).
A student on progress probation because of an excess of units for which entries
of “W,” “I” and “NC” are recorded shall be removed from probation when the
percentage of units in this category drops below fifty percent (50%).
Students or instructors may initiate a withdrawal between the end of the fourth
week and the last day of the fourteenth week for full-semester classes, or between
the first 30% of the course and the end of seventy-five percent (75%) of a class
19
less than a semester in length. Withdrawal shall be authorized after informing
the appropriate faculty. This action shall be recorded as a “W” on the student’s
academic records. The academic record of a student who remains in a class
beyond this 75% drop deadline must reflect a grading symbol other than “W.”
The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but excessive
“Ws” shall be used as factors in probation and dismissal procedures.
Extension Course Credit
Normally credit is not granted for extension course work, including correspondence courses. The acceptance of such units for credit by the college will depend
on the treatment of the particular course by the institution that offered the
course. A petition for acceptance of such course work should be accompanied
by material that explains the course content and indicates the kind of credit
given by the offering institution.
Withdrawal from a class may only be authorized after the designated time
limit by petition and only then under extenuating circumstances of verified
cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond control of the
student. Approved petitions shall result in a “W” being recorded on a student’s
academic record. The petition for this purpose, “Petition to Change Grade to
Withdrawal,” is available in Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.). When
this grade change is made, the student’s permanent academic record shall be
annotated in such a manner that all work remains legible, ensuring a true and
complete academic history.
In cases where the granting of credit for extension or correspondence courses
is petitioned, it may be required that the student’s competency in such course
work be validated according to credit-by-examination procedures, as explained
elsewhere in this section.
Credit for Military Service
The colleges of the Ventura County Community College District will recognize
and grant credit to service personnel for formal educational training completed
in the United States armed forces provided such credit is not a duplication of
work taken previously.
Withdrawal from College/Dropping a Class
It is the student’s responsibility to formally withdraw from all classes if he/she
intends to withdraw from college. A student who withdraws after the end of the
fourth week of instruction for full-semester classes or after the end of the first
thirty percent (30%) of a term for short-term or less than full-semester classes
shall have an entry made on his or her permanent record in accordance with
the regulations specified in the Withdrawal from Class policy. Appropriate forms
are available in Registration and Records (Admin. Bldg.).
Service personnel may be allowed credit for formal service school courses offered
by the United States Military Service recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation
of Educational Experiences in the Armed Services of the American Council on
Education. The credit allowed will be based upon the recommendations specified
in the Guide. The maximum amount of credit which may be allowed toward
satisfaction of college requirements shall be 12 units.
Service personnel will be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level
courses completed under the auspices of the Defense Activity for Nontraditional
Education Support (DANTES) or the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI)
as recommended in the Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experiences in
the Armed Services of the American Council on Education. Service personnel will
be allowed full advanced standing credit for college-level courses completed at
the Naval Construction Training Center (NCTC) at Port Hueneme based upon
the recommendations of the Accredited Institutions of Postsecondary Education of the American Council of Education. Such credit will be treated in the
same manner and under the same policies as allowing credit from regionally
accredited colleges and universities.
Students may withdraw from college or drop a class in the following ways: By
web, phone, fax, mail or in-person.
Special Situations Regarding
the Awarding of Credit
College Board Advanced Placement
Students who completed advanced placement exams while in high school and
who have earned scores of 3, 4, or 5 on the College Board Advanced Placement
(AP) examinations will receive credit towards graduation at Moorpark College
for such test completed. An official copy of the test scores must be submitted to
the Registration and Records Office.
Any work taken by service personnel while in military service at a regionally
accredited college or university and for which the college or university issues a
regular transcript showing the credits allowable towards its own degrees, will
be allowed advanced standing credit toward the Associate Degree in the same
manner as if the student had pursued the courses as a civilian.
Students granted credit for AP exams will not earn credit towards a Moorpark
College degree for duplicated college courses. Students should schedule a
counseling appointment with a counselor before taking courses which appear
to duplicate AP exams and to discuss the specific unit value assigned to each
examination and the applicability of this credit to the college’s general education requirements.
Credit by Examination
Granting unit credit for a course by examination is based on the principle that
previous experience, training, or instruction is the equivalent of a specific course
taught by the college. If an examination indicates that the student possesses
adequate equivalency and mastery of the subject, credit may be granted. All
courses shall be open to credit by examination unless specifically exempted.
Each division of the college shall determine the courses for which credit by
examination may be granted and the Office of Instruction shall maintain a
current list of courses excluded from this policy. For the purpose of this policy,
a course shall mean an organized area of instruction as described in the college
catalog. A student should be advised that the use of units given by credit by exam
to establish eligibility for athletics, financial aid, and veterans benefits are subject
to the rules and regulations of the external agencies involved.
Other colleges or universities have different policies concerning AP and may
grant a different number of units or consider different courses as comparable
courses. It is possible that other colleges and universities may not honor Moorpark College transcript entries which award AP credit for particular exams.
Students planning to transfer should discuss the use of AP scores for meeting
transfer requirements with their counselor.
Repetition of General Education Credit
Lower-division credit units previously earned by a student to fulfill general
education requirements for a baccalaureate degree may be accepted to fulfill
general education requirements for a designated associate degree only.
20
Transfer Credit from Regionally Accredited Colleges and
Universities
Exceptions to the above may be made when necessary to meet provisions of
California state law or the rules and regulations of state agencies governing
programs of the California Community Colleges.
Students transferring to the Ventura County Community Colleges from colleges
accredited by the recognized regional accrediting associations will normally be
granted lower-division credit for courses entered on officially certified transcripts.
These transcripts must be sent to Moorpark College Counseling office. They will
be evaluated based upon the current practices specified in the accredited institutions postsecondary education by the American Council on Education.
Credit by examination may be granted only to a student who is currently enrolled
in at least one course in the college; has completed at least 12 units in residence
in the colleges of the Ventura County Community College District; is not on
academic probation; has submitted transcripts of all previous course work; has
not earned college credit in more advanced subject matter; and, has not received
a grade (A, B, C, D, F, CR, NC) or equivalent, in the course for which he or she is
seeking credit by examination at this or any other educational institutions.
Students transferring to the Ventura County Community College District from
other regionally accredited colleges and universities, are required to declare all
previous college work. Failure to provide complete information may result in
dismissal from the Ventura County Community Colleges.
A student seeking credit by examination will receive a CRE (credit) if he or she
satisfactorily passes the examination; no other grade will be recorded. Students
who are unsuccessful in an attempt to challenge by examination will not receive
a NC (no credit) and no record of the attempt for credit by examination will
appear on a student’s transcript. However, students may challenge a course only
once. A student may challenge no more than 12 units (or 4 courses) under
the Credit by Examination policy towards an Associate Degree or Certificate of
Achievement. The amount of unit credit granted by examination to an individual
shall not count towards the minimum 12 units required for residency. Credit
by examination may be granted in only one course in a sequence of courses,
as determined by prerequisites and may not be granted for a course which is
prerequisite to the one in which the student is currently enrolled.
Transfer Credit from Foreign Colleges and Universities
Students wishing to receive credit for previous course work from foreign colleges
or universities must have their transcripts evaluated by an approved credential
evaluation service. Students may receive information regarding the credential
evaluation service from the Moorpark College International Student Office or
Counseling Department.
Course work attempted will normally receive lower-division unit credit only.
Requests for equivalent course credit are evaluated on an individual basis,
based upon the recommendations of the transcript evaluation service and by
the appropriate college discipline.
Exceptions to the proposed statement are permitted for each college in those
occupational programs where curriculum makes this necessary. The exceptions
are as follows:
Use of Listening or Recording Devices
State law in California prohibits the use by anyone in a classroom of any electronic listening or recording device without prior consent of the teacher and
school administration. Any student who has need to use electronic aids must
secure the consent of the instructor. If the instructor agrees to the request,
the notice of consent will be filed with the Executive Vice President, Student
Learning.
1. The 12-unit residency requirement is suspended, permitting students to
petition for Credit by Examination prior to completion of that requirement; when the residency requirement has been met, the course(s)
successfully challenged shall be added to the student’s record.
2. Credit by Examination may be granted for more than one course in
a sequence of required courses, when approved by the administrator
responsible for vocational programs.
The petition for this purpose, “Petition for Credit by Examination,” is initiated
in the Counseling Office (Admin. Bldg.). Approved petitions must be on file
with the administering instructor by Friday of the tenth week of the full-length
semester. The examination is to be administered prior to the last day of the final
examination period.
Accuracy of the College Catalog
Moorpark College is committed to providing students the most accurate,
current information available regarding the College’s programs, courses,
regulations and policies. However, there may be times when course changes
concerning prerequisites, content, hours, or units of credit are determined
after publication of the catalog or when district policy or state regulation
dictates a change in current practice. When such a circumstance arises, every
effort will be made through the class schedules, public media, and at time
of registration to notify students of any changes in the course descriptions
or college policies as presented herein. Students with questions or concerns
about a specific course need to talk to a counselor (805-378-1428) or to call
the appropriate division office. Questions or concerns regarding standard
practice and process can be directed to the Office of Student Learning at
(805) 378-1403.
Credit (CRE) is assigned for work of such quality as to warrant a letter grade of
“C” or better. Transcript entries shall distinguish credits obtained by examination
from credits obtained as a result of regular course enrollment. The student’s
academic record shall be clearly annotated to reflect that credit was earned by
examination. Students should be aware that other colleges may not accept credit
by examination for transfer purposes.
The following courses may not be taken under the “Credit by Examination”
option: ANTH M05, HIST M60T, NS M49, PHOT M04, PHOT M09, RADT M49,
and all Dance and PE activity courses.

Philosophy of General Education
General Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree (A.A.)
General education program is designed to introduce students to the variety of
means through which people comprehend the past, present and future world.
It reflects the conviction of the college that those who receive our degrees must
possess in common certain basic principles, concepts and methodologies both
unique to and shared by the various disciplines. The general education experience should enable individuals to use this knowledge when evaluating and
appreciating the physical environment, arts, culture and the society in which
they live. Most importantly, since education is a life-long process, general
education should lead to better self-understanding and the capacity to adapt,
respond and grow in a changing world. In its general education program, MC
strives to create coherence and integration among the separate requirements
(excerpt from Title 5).
I. General Education Requirements
(1) One course in biological science
(2) One course in physical science
(1) One course in American history and institutions
(2) One other course in social and behavioral sciences
(1) One course in fine or performing arts
(2) One other course in humanities
(1) One course in English composition
(2) One course in communication and analytical thinking
E. Health/physical education – a minimum of 3.5 units
(1) One course in health education (minimum of 2 units)
(2) Any PE class or DANCE activity course
(minimum of 1.5 units)
F. Ethnic/Women’s Studies – one of the designated courses which can not be
“double-counted” to satisfy other general education requirements above.
II. In addition to the general education requirements listed above, completion
of at least 12 additional units selected as follows: 9 units from the natural
sciences and/or social and behavioral sciences and/or humanities and/or
language and rationality areas.
III. Additional units are to be selected from any Associated degree level courses
to meet minimum of 60 semester units.

Occasionally a student may have difficulty in completing exact major requirements as specified in the MC catalog due to circumstances beyond control of
the student. Under exceptional circumstances, a student may file a Petition for
Substitution or Waiver to seek approval from the appropriate college officials
to substitute courses in designed major or in general education. The petition
forms are available in the Counseling Center.
Guidelines for Additional Degree
1. A student who has earned an associate degree at any regionally accredited
institution may earn an additional associate degree.
2. A student who holds a higher degree from any regionally accredited institution
may earn an associate degree in a specific major (this excludes the Associate
in Arts in general liberal arts and sciences).
3. General education requirements earned for one degree may be applied
toward another degree.
4. A candidate for an additional degree must complete 12 or more units of credit,
in residence at Moorpark College, concurrent with or after completion of
requirements for the first associate degree. In addition, a candidate must be
in attendance at MC in the semester during which graduation requirements
for the additional degree are completed.
5. A student must complete all the required courses listed in the catalog for the
specific majors. In the event that unmet requirements for a specific major
do not total 12 units, a student must complete the remaining units from
electives listed under the major or courses as approved by the appropriate
division.
6. In the case of degree offering two or more options, a student may earn an
additional degree within the same filed by completing the requirements
for that option (the additional degree) and all other requirements specified herein.
Appeals to the above policy may be submitted on a petition available in the
Counseling Office for approval by the Executive Vice President of Student Learning. Waivers may be granted under extenuating circumstances or when there
has not been sufficient opportunity to enroll in required courses.

Lower-Division Transfer Patterns (LDTP)
The Lower-Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP) project, sponsored by the California
State University (CSU) and supported by the California Community Colleges,
presents potential transfer students with the most direct path to a bachelor’s
degree in the CSU system. Community college students who elect to follow the
LDTP option will receive the highest priority for admission to a CSU campus.
Students will be asked to complete successfully a specified set of general education
courses and major courses that will be common to all CSU campuses offering
that major, and they will be asked to complete successfully an additional set
of courses identified by the particular CSU campus named in the LDTP agreement. For more information on the CSU LDTP, schedule an appointment with
a Moorpark counselor at (805) 378-1428.
Preparation for Transfer
Students planning to transfer to a four-year university have a wide variety of
options. The California State University (CSU) with 23 campuses, the University
of California (UC) with 9 campuses and over 70 private, independent colleges in
California provide a wide range of academic programs, physical and academic
environments, and social climates. Moorpark College offers the equivalent of
the first two years of these four-year college and university degrees.
Students who are preparing to transfer are strongly encouraged to balance their
studies by taking both general education courses and lower division major
courses. Completing only general education courses, especially for high unit
majors, such as business administration, natural sciences, math or engineering,
may not be in a student’s best interest. Additional coursework may be completed
as elective courses, to complement or supplement a major course of study.
Academic counseling is available to all students on an appointment basis. Each
counselor is a specialist in several academic areas, and you may wish to see a
counselor according to the major you declare. All counselors have the expertise
to assist you with courses selection, program planning, and questions concerning
requirements for admission, majors, general education and transfer to a fouryear college or university. Students are encouraged to meet with a counselor
as early as possible to discuss their educational plan.
CAN
The California Articulation Number System (CAN) is a statewide numbering
system independent from course numbers assigned by local colleges. A CAN
number indicates that participating California colleges and universities have
determined that courses offered by other campuses are equivalent in content
and scope to courses offered on their own campuses regardless of their unique
titles or local identifying numbers. Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog lists
a course bearing a CAN number, students on one campus can be assured that it
will be accepted “in lieu of” the comparable CAN course noted in the catalog or
schedule of classes of another campus. For example, CAN ECON 2 on one campus
will be accepted as meeting the requirement of the designated CAN ECON 2 course
on other participating community college or university campuses.
The CAN numbering system is useful for student attending more than one community college and is applied to many of the transferable, lower division courses
students need as preparation for their intended major. Because these course
requirements may change, however, and because courses are continually being
redefined, qualified for or deleted from the CAN databases, students should always
check with their campus’ counselors, or the articulation officer to determine how
CAN designated courses fit into their educational plans for transfer.
Below is a list of CAN qualified courses for Moorpark College
Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA)
What is a Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA)?
A TAA is a formal, written agreement that outlines the courses a student must
complete before transferring, states the grade-point average you must earn,
(differs from college to college) and lists specific requirements for selective
majors. Once it has been determined that a student is eligible to transfer to the
University as a junior and that they meet the TAA criteria for their major, their
Moorpark College counselor will start the process. A TAA is usually written after
a student has completed 30 transferable units, normally up to one year prior
to transfer. It is important that a student wishing to transfer under a Transfer
Agreement begins working with a counselor in his/her major as soon as possible
to carefully plan academic work.
Moorpark College students can explore TAA/TAGs with the following Universities:
UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC Los Angeles (under the Transfer Achievement Program),
UC Merced (in progress), UC Riverside, UC San Diego, UC Santa Barbara, UC
Santa Cruz, CSU Channel Islands, CSU Northridge, CSU San Bernardino, CSU
Sonoma, California Lutheran University.

Articulation with Four-Year Institution
To assist the student with transfer to four-year institutions, articulation agreements have been established with most California State University, University of
California campuses and some independent California colleges and out-of-state
institutions. These agreements define the courses at MC that satisfy General
Education and many lower division major requirements at four-year institutions.
A list of general education and major preparation courses for most California
public four-year institutions can be found on ASSIST.
ASSIST
Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) is a
computerized student-transfer information system that can be accessed over the
World Wide Web. It displays reports of how course credits earned at one California
college or university can be applied when transferred to another. ASSIST is the
official repository of articulation for California’s colleges and universities and
therefore provides the most accurate and up-to-date information available about
student transfer in California. ASSIST is available at www.assist.org.

Transfer Admission Requirements to:
University of California (UC)
There are several ways to meet the University’s minimum admission requirements for transfer students, as described below. The path you use depends
upon the degree to which you satisfy UC’s minimum eligibility requirements
for freshmen at the time of graduation from high school.
1. If you were eligible for admission to the University when you graduated from
high school, meaning you satisfied the Subject, Scholarship and Examination requirements, or were identified by the University during the senior year
in high school as being eligible under the Eligibility in the Local Context
(ELC) program you are eligible to transfer if you have a C (2.0) average in
your transferable college coursework.
2. Students who met the Scholarship Requirement but who did not complete all
the Subject Requirements must take appropriate transferable college courses
in the missing subjects and earn a C or better in each course as well as an
overall C average (2.0) in transferable courses.
3. Students who were not eligible for the University of California from high
school because they did not meet the Scholarship Requirement must:
(a) Complete 60 transferable semester units with a grade point average of
at least 2.8 for non-resident students, and
(b) Complete the following course pattern, earning at least a C (2.0) or
better in each course:
- two transferable college courses in English Composition; and
- one transferable college course in mathematical concepts and quantitative reasoning; and
- four transferable college courses (3 semester units each) chosen from
at least two of the following subject areas: the arts and humanities, the
social and behavioral sciences, the physical and biological sciences.
All campuses require that students complete English composition and math by
the end of the spring term prior to fall transfer. Some campuses also require
that the 60 semester units minimum be completed no later than the spring
semester.
Students who satisfy the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC) prior to transferring to UC will
automatically satisfy option 3B above.

General education requirements are designed to give University undergraduates
a broad background in all major academic disciplines. Each school and college at every UC campus has its own general education requirement. Students
can also have the option of completing the Intersegmental General Education
Transfer Curriculum (IGETC).
The IGETC is a series of courses that community college students can use to
satisfy lower-division general education requirements at any CSU or UC campus.
Completion of the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum will
permit a student to transfer without the need, after transfer, to take additional
lower-division general education courses to satisfy campus specific General
Education requirements.
The IGETC is not an admission requirement for transfer to a CSU or UC, nor
is it the only way to fulfill the lower-division general education requirements
of the CSU or UC. Students may find it advantageous to take courses fulfilling
CSU’s (campus specific) general education requirements or those of a particular UC campus. See your counselor for advice on your particular
educational goal.

California State University Transfer
Requirements
Transfer credit may be limited by either UC or CSU or both. Please consult with
a counselor for additional information.
 Both courses must be taken for certification.
(L) Designates courses with a laboratory.
The CSU guarantees admission to the CSU system to all California community
college (CCC) students who meet CSU upper division transfer admission requirements. Effective Fall 2005, students with fewer than 60 transferable semester (90
quarter) units are considered lower division transfer students, and those with 60
or more transferable semester (90 quarter) units are considered upper division
transfer. The CSU assigns the highest priority for admission to CCC transfer
students who have completed 60 semester transferable units.
Upper Division Transfer (60 to 70 semester units)
Students may qualify for admission if they:
• Completed 60 semester (90 quarter) units
• Have completed or will complete prior to transfer at least 30 semester (45
quarter) units selected from courses in English, Arts and Humanities, Social
Sciences, Science, and a CSU GE approved mathematics course.
• Have a college GPA of 2.0 or better (2.4 for non-California residents) in all
transferable college units completed.
Grades for IGETC
All courses in the IGETC must be completed with a “CR” (Credit) or grade of “C” or better.
Full IGETC Certification
For certification, IGETC must be completed prior to transfer. Certification of these
units is not automatic and certification must be requested at the MC Counseling
Office after the student completes all of the IGETC requirements. Certification
will not be made when course are still in progress or before grades are known.
Partial IGETC Certification
It is expected that all students using IGETC as their general education pattern
will have completed it prior to transfer. However, partial certification may be
requested if severe hardship (MUST be documented) prevented the student
from completing all required courses. Hardship may be determined to be: (1)
accident or illness in the FINAL semester at MC; (2) work schedule changes in
the FINAL semester at MC; (3) course cancellation by the college in the FINAL
semester; (4) documented counselor error. Area 1 and Area 2 CANNOT be
completed after transfer.
If any of the above exceptions or situations applies to your academic record,
please consult with a MC counselor for more information.

Double-Counting
Even though a course may be listed in more than one area on IGETC, a course
may only be counted in one area. UC will allow requirements completed as
preparation for the major to be used in the IGETC wherever they appear. In
addition, courses use to satisfy the U.S. History, Constitution and American Ideals
requirements cannot be used to double count on the IGETC.
Quarter Units vs. Semester Units
Students with both quarter and semester unit course work may find it difficult to
combine the two in order to complete the required number of units. Additional
course work may be necessary in order to accumulate the required number
of courses or units in certain IGETC areas. Please meet with a counselor for
assistance.
Courses Completed at Other Colleges
Courses completed at any regionally accredited college can be used. However,
the majority of courses used to complete IGETC requirements must be taken at
a California community college. Course work from other California community
colleges will be applied in the IGETC category listed from that campus. Courses
must have been on that college’s IGETC list when the course was taken. Students
transferring from other than a California community college may have course
certified as equivalent to MC courses if an equivalent course is taught at MC.
Such courses would be placed in the same IGETC category as the equivalent
MC course. There are some restrictions about using courses from a CSU or UC
to fulfill IGETC.
Courses Taken at Foreign Institutions
These courses will not be permitted for certification on the IGETC.
AP Scores for IGETC certification
AP scores of 3, 4 or 5 can be used to satisfy any IGETC subject area except the
Critical Thinking/English Composition or the Oral Communication requirements (Area 1B & C). Each AP score can only be used as one course. The AP
course must have been evaluated and approved by MC faculty. A list of facultyapproved Advanced Placement scores and equivalent courses is available from
a Moorpark College counselor.

No more than 1.5 units of the 3-unit Area E requirement can be met by a
dance or physical education activity course.
Full Certification
Completion of all five sections (A-E) of these requirements prior to transferring
will permit MC to certify to each of the CSU campuses that you have fulfilled the
basic 39-unit minimum lower division requirement in general education. Each
of the campuses of CSU requires an additional nine units of upper division GE
work in residence; some campuses may require more than the 48-unit minimum.
Certification is not automatic and must be requested by the student.
Partial/Subject Area Certification
It is possible to complete separately any of the areas or sections (A-E) at MC
and receive partial certification in any or several of those areas if you are not
fully certified, it will be necessary for you to complete the remaining areas
(and perhaps other areas) after transferring as defined by the catalog of the
transfer school.
Course Restriction
While a course may satisfy more than one general education group and/or area
requirement, it shall not be counted more than once and any excess units in
one area shall not apply to another area.
U.S History, Constitution and
American Ideals Requirements
All campuses require students to complete college-level coursework in U.S.
History, American and California Government. Courses approved to satisfy this
requirement are specified in the appropriate areas and most may be doublecounted toward satisfying General Education Breadth requirements.
Sequential Courses
Most institutions recommend that students complete sequential courses at
the college where the series was started. This is especially recommended for
a sequence of two or more courses which require the preceding course(s) as a
prerequisite to advancement.
Advanced Placement Examinations in CSU
General Education-Breadth Certification
The following Advanced Placement examinations may be incorporated into
certification of completion of CSU General Education-Breadth requirements.
Students must have scored 3, 4, or 5 on an Advanced Placement examination
listed below to receive the credit indicated. All CSU campuses will accept the
minimum units shown below toward fulfillment of the designated General
Education-Breadth area if the examination is included in a full or subjectarea certification; individual CSU campuses may choose to accept more units
than those specified below towards completion of General Education-Breadth
requirements. The CSU campus to which the student is transferring determines
the total number of units awarded for successful completion of an Advanced
Placement examination to the graduation requirements.
Will satisfy U.S. History and American Ideals requirement.
+Will satisfy American, State and Local Government.

Understanding the Course Descriptions
Occasionally there may be changes concerning course numbers, titles, units of
credit, prerequisites, hours, or course descriptions made after publication of the
Catalog. Efforts will be made through the Schedules of Classes, public media, and
at the time of registration, to notify students of any changes other than as described
in the Catalog.
Transfer Details: Each course description explains the course’s specific transfer
status to the California State University (CSU) and/or the University of California (UC)
systems. The course may be accepted for credit by the CSU system only, by both the
CSU and UC systems, or by neither system. If no transfer status information follows
a course description, that course is not acceptable for credit at any of the California
public four-year institutions and is probably not accepted at private or out-of-state
institutions either. For some courses, the UC system grants limited credit, and an
explanation of that limitation is provided. If you have any questions, talk to a
counselor or explore a range of online information available in the Transfer Center
(Admin. Bldg., (805) 378-1551).
The basic requirements for achieving a Degree or Certificate in a specific discipline
are noted in the following “List of Courses.” Some disciplines provide a sample course
sequence that suggests how to schedule the classes to make the most of a student’s time
on campus. For information about when each course is offered, consult the current
semester’s Schedule of Classes, which is available on campus about five weeks prior
to the start of each semester and online at www.moorparkcollege.edu.
The following “List of Courses” provides a variety of information about each specific
class: the unit value of the course, the number of hours the course meets, the prerequisites and corequisites, and the transfer status.
All degree applicable courses listed in the Catalog meet major, general education, or
elective credit requirements for approved degree or certificate programs.
Careers: To explore specific career options, check the software and online resources
available in the Career Services Center (Campus Center, (805) 378-1536).

Program Requirements and Ethical Expectations
The EATM program prepares the student for employment in the animal industry,
which often involves working with dangerous animals. During this course of
study, the student will work with dangerous animals at the college’s teaching
zoo, as well as other animal facilities. Therefore, students enrolled in the EATM
program are expected to strictly adhere to the rules and regulations of the program in order to ensure the safety of the students, animals, staff, and public.
Furthermore, all students are expected to maintain the highest personal and
ethical standards of conduct consistent with professional standards as perceived
by the program faculty and professional personnel at the facilities where students
perform internships. Any information indicating that such standards are not
maintained is subject to review by members of the faculty, which may recommend student dismissal to the college administration.
Tactile - ability sufficient for safe and humane handling of various-size animals. Examples: appreciation for the strength necessary for controlling a camel
versus that for handling a rat, able to palpate the pulse rate of an animal.
For successful completion of the EATM program, a minimum grade of C is necessary in all courses required for the major. Because much of the EATM program
is sequential in nature, a minimum grade of C in each required course must
be obtained before continuing to the next semester.
Program Costs
Costs incurred by EATM students include, but are not limited to: Personal health
examination, immunizations, uniforms, equipment, materials fees, internship
travel, field trips, tuition, books and living expenses.
Performance Standards
In compliance with the 1990 American with Disabilities Act, the EATM Program
does not discriminate against qualified applicants with disabilities. These performance standards, reflected in specific EATM course/program objectives, are to
assist each applicant in determining eligibility and the need for accommodations
or modifications. The EATM Faculty in conjunction with the Moorpark College
Health Services, ACCESS and community animal facilities will determine, on an
individual basis, whether the necessary accommodations or modifications can
reasonably be made.

Application Procedure
The application period for receipt by the Nursing counselors of all applicant information and transcripts is September 1 - October 15, and February 1 - March 15.
Moorpark College Nursing Program is studying a prerequisite system based on
a formula that takes into consideration-overall GPA, GPA in core biological sciences (Anatomy, Physiology and Microbiology), number of repeats in the core
biological sciences, and English GPA. The composite of these factors generates
a cut score which will need to be obtained to be admitted into the nursing program. The program is in the process of determining the cut score and anticipate
it will be published on the Moorpark College Health Sciences Nursing website
Fall 2006 (www.moorparkcollege.edu) with expected implementation in Fall
2007. If there are any questions regarding this prerequisite system contact Kim
Hoffmans, Coordinator of Health Sciences, (805) 378-1400 ext. 1706.
Enrollment Process
• Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite
Science Courses (Step 3) with a C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better,
students may submit an application to a Nursing Counselor from September 1
to October 15 or February 15 to March 15 of each year. All official College and
High School transcripts must be submitted with the application.
• After a random selection of qualified applicants (meeting the minimum prerequisite score), a number will be assigned to each applicant, and the applicant’s
name will be placed on a waiting list: Each applicant’s number will indicate
his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admitted to the
nursing program by number order.
• There will be alternates selected for each admission class to serve on standby
for admission until the end of the first week of class. If not admitted, these
alternates will be first admissions into the next class.
• The Health Science Department will contact applicants regarding program
enrollment a semester prior.
• Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing
from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely
(example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits
which place clients at risk.
STEP 1: Qualifying Requirements: High school graduation or General Education Development (GED) Exam with a score of 45 or successfully pass the
California High School Proficiency Exam (CHSPE).

Political Science
The study of government and politics is the study of how people are governed and
how they govern themselves. We examine the process by which scarce resources are
allocated to an expanding population with ever-increasing demands. We look at
American politics as an experience in “self-government” and realize that our system
is quite different from the political systems developed by other countries. The study
of politics includes the examination of how diversity impacts American politics. Our
discipline also seeks to understand how nations deal with each other and what kinds
of issues are likely to separate them – and how they resolve international conflict.
A number of political science courses help prepare students for specific careers.
For example, political science is often used as a pre-law major or for other related
professions, such as careers in government at the federal, state or local levels. Our
discipline is also appropriate for a number of other non-government professions
and our faculty invite your questions about such opportunities

Radiologic Technology
Guadalupe Aldana, Robert Darwin
• Upon meeting the qualifying requirements (Step 1) and the Prerequisite
Science Courses (Step 3) with a C or better and an overall GPA of 2.5 or better,
students may submit a Radiologic Technology application to a Health Science
counselor from February 1 -March 15 of each year. All official College and High
School transcripts must be submitted with the application.
• If there are more applicants than seats available in the program, there will
be a random selection of qualified applicants. Each applicant will be assigned
a number and placed on a waiting list. Each applicant’s number will indicate
his/her place in “LINE” to enter the program. Applicants are admitted to the
program by number order.
• Alternates are selected for each admission class to serve on standby for admission until the end of the first week of class. If not admitted, these alternates will
be first admissions into the next class.
• The Health Science Department will contact applicants regarding acceptance/admission.
• Admission may be denied to an applicant who has failed or withdrew failing
from a program and whose overall record makes program completion unlikely
(example: two program withdrawals); or who has health and/or safety deficits
which place clients at risk.

General Work Experience provides on-the-job learning that develops effective work
habits, attitudes, and behaviors that are applicable in most work environments. This
emphasis builds on core competencies needed for career success and advancement
that were initially identified in the Secretary’s Commission on Acquiring Necessary
Skills (SCANS) for the workplace and encourages the exploration of establishing
an effective career/educational goal. Students sign-up for WEXP M10 to receive
credit for their work, earning up to 6 units, with a 3-unit maximum enrollment
per semester*.

Occupational Work Experience connects actual classroom learning to targeted work
experience opportunities in a field related to a student’s stated educational major or
career goal. Typically, students would sign-up for WEXP M20 to receive credit for this
occupational work experience. Some programs (Child Development, EATM, Multimedia, for examples) have developed specialized relationships with area businesses,
so coordinate Internships under the M80 course designation. These internships
are closely related to the completion of department-specified course work and are
advised by a faculty member in the discipline. With either option, the student’s work
experience is matched to identified interests and training needs. In total, students
can earn up to a total of 16 units, with a 4-unit maximum per semester*.

Program is to maximize on-the-job learning for participating students. However,
to truly be effective in a chosen field, students also need to develop techniques and

Exemption Policy
Moorpark College is a partner in every student’s educational pursuit. If students
succeed, we succeed. One of our main objectives in this partnership is to provide
access to all the rules and regulations regarding course work as well as to all the
special services that can help students do the best they can in their classes. To
meet this objective, there are many Campus Services available. Moorpark College
encourages all students to take advantage of all we have to offer.
New, returning, or transfer students who may be exempted from the matriculation process are students who:
• Already have an Associate’s or Bachelor’s degree
• Are attending Moorpark College for personal enrichment
• Are enrolled only in non-credit community education courses
• Are taking classes only to upgrade job skills
• Are enrolled in apprenticeship or other special vocational education programs
• Are concurrently enrolled in another college or university
Exempt students are not required to participate in the matriculation process,
but are encouraged to see a counselor.
Matriculation
The primary goal of Matriculation is to assist all students in attaining academic success. The college and each individual student work together combining several activities and processes to develop a Student Educational Plan
(SEP). The SEP is a schedule of recommended courses. Within the Matriculation process both college and student responsibilities are defined.
Counseling Services
Counseling services are available on a day and evening basis to Moorpark
College students. Through a coordinated guidance program, counselors
assist students with academic planning and also in career and personal matters. Although any counselor can help any student, students often develop a
working relationship with a particular counselor, since consistent contact and
follow-up can maximize the counseling efforts. In addition, most counselors
have a specified connection to specific majors. For more specific information
log on-line at www.moorparkcollege.edu/counsel.
College responsibilities include:
1. Admissions and Records – provide an admissions and records
process that will enable the college to collect state required information on
students.
2. Assessment – provide an assessment process using multiple measures
to determine students’ academic readiness in English, Math, and English as a
Second Language. www.moorparkcollege.edu/access
Academic Counseling
3. Orientation – provide an orientation process designed to acquaint
students with college programs, services, facilities and grounds, academic
expectations, and college policies and procedures.
www.moorparkcollege.edu/orient
Accurate information about program requirements and course prerequisites is essential for planning courses of study. Counselors serve as valuable
resource people in helping select appropriate classes, since they stay aware of
any changes that may affect completion of majors, general education and/or
transfer requirements. Counselors can help students select the best combination of courses to meet the lower division transfer requirements at the eventual
transfer institution. Meeting regularly with a counselor helps ensure progress
toward achieving an Associate Degree or Certificate of Achievement.
If a student has not selected a major field of study, they are encouraged to meet
with a counselor to develop an educational plan and to identify a major.
Students may arrange for academic advising by making an appointment at
the Counseling Office in the Administration Building or by phoning 378-1428.
There is usually a counselor available at the counseling desk to help those
students who stop by for immediate help.
4. Counseling/Advisement – provide counseling services to assist
students in course selection, development of an individual student educational
plan, and use of campus support services; provide additional advisement and
counseling to assist students who have not declared and educational goal, are
enrolled in basic skill courses, are on academic probation/dismissal, or have
been identified as high-risk.
5. Follow-up – establish an Early Alert process to monitor a student’s
progress and provide assistance toward meeting educational goals; provide
students with (or direct them to) written district procedures for challenging
matriculation regulatory provisions.
NOTE: Alternative services for the matriculation process are provided for
ethnic and language minority students and students with disabilities.
Career Counseling
The Career Development program offers a variety of services and resources designed
to aid students in the process of choosing, changing or confirming career goals
and life planning. In addition, the college library maintains current written and
audio-visual materials on local, state, and national job markets.
Students are encouraged to use the career resources in the Transfer/Career
Center for computerized career assessments and research. Career Workshops,
résumé assistance, and special events are also av
